Structure
Regarding the floor plan, the roof has a width of 20 m (about 65 ft) and a length of 15 m (about 49 ft); the roof's slopes range between 6% and 35%. The structure, consisting of GL24h glulam timber, is supported by free-standing sawtooth-shaped rolled steel frames spanning about 13 m (about 42 ft) of the roof's width. The columns of the frame along the roof's length are 5.0 m (about 16 ft) apart. The hip and valley rafters are connected to the steel frames with hinged supports.
On some folded plates, certain rafters are spaced 0.65 m (about 2 ft) apart, fixed by tongue-and-groove boards and forming the cover for a green roof, and while other rafters under these plates are spaced 1 m (about 3 ft) apart, supporting a polycarbonate cover to improve natural lighting.
Structural Analysis
The structural analysis for the ultimate limit state, in both a normal situation and fire situations, as well as for the serviceability limit state, were calculated according to the Spanish rules of the Basic Document for Wood Structural Safety (DB-SE-M) of April 2009 and the Basic Document for Safety in case of Fire (DB-SI) of February 2010, belonging to the technical building code in force.
Computer applications used in the calculation:
- self-developed pre- and post-process spreadsheets
- Cadwork V29 Computer Aided Design program
- Dlubal RFEM 6.02 Structural Analysis and Design program
